Back in 2004 three Extreme Metal fans decided they wanted to lay an imprint on the world. Noticing recent world events, and with a heavy interest in apocalyptic legends and lore, they decided to create a band that focuses it’s energy on the fear and anticipation of this world’s end. Crushing every venue the band has ever played, with their apocalyptic sound and performance, the band realized that they had something fresh, new, yet brutal and destructive. At that time, known as “Withering Youth”, the band dubbed their sound Apocalyptic Metal. The 3 piece continued to spread their Apocalyptic Metal around Wisconsin and even inspired some local Madison bands. In 2009 Withering Youth underwent some even more apocalyptic changes to their sound and required a new lineup. Still performing as a 3-piece but with additional soundscapes Withering Youth became Tragic Death. Check out this band’s music and get a chance to see their brutal, energetic live shows, where this band truly shines!
